Tower Module
The tower module in the generator should be changed (when the “Low Temperature” LED is illumi
-
nated or blinking) to maintain the hydrocarbon removal specification for the unit. Contact the local
representative for ordering information and pricing for a replacement tower module.
To prevent electric shock, disconnect the Tri-Gas generator from the power supply prior to servicing
the catalyst tower module.
Allow unit to cool for at least 2 hours before removing the front panel to service the tower module.
The tools required to change the tower module are: a Phillips head screwdriver, and 11/32 nut
driver, one 9/16”, 1/2” open end wrenches. The steps for replacing the tower module are as follows:
1
Switch off the power to the unit, unplug from the power receptacle, close the (customer installed)
inlet air valve, and allow the unit to cool (2 hours, minimum) and depressurize.
2
Remove the front panel from the generator.
3
Using a 9/16” wrench, disconnect the module inlet fitting at the elbow (see figure 45).
4
Remove the black air dryer membrane to access the outlet fitting (see figure 46).
5
Using 2 wrenches (one as an anchor), loosen the bottom nut of the compression outlet elbow.
6
Use a flathead screw driver to get leverage when releasing the elbow fitting free from the tower.
7
Remove the kep nut (11/32) at the base of the module (see figure 47).
8
Disconnect the electrical power connector and the PCB connector (see figures 48 and 49).
9
Remove the spent module and place the replacement in position.
10
Re-connect the replacement tower module by reversing the removal steps. Hand tighten nuts on
to ferrules and finish tightening with a wrench 1-1/2 turns for a tight seal.
11
Re-install the black air dryer membrane.
12
Prior to turning the generator on, check for leaks by opening the compressed air supply to the
unit. Use a soap or leak detecting solution to check the integrity of the piping and fittings.
13
Replace front panel.
14
Restart generator as detailed in the start-up section of this manual. The “Low Temperature” indi
-
cator light on the front of the generator will flash for 2 to 3 minutes after start-up, until the circuit
board and the tower module have been initialized. After the initialization period, the generator
will commence operation from the warm-up stage.
Note: if the “Low Temperature” indicator
light continues to blink after 5 to 10 minutes, please contact the factory at 1-800-343-4048.
